Nobody Else Will Tell You - William Doyle, Laura Misch

I went for a walk

And now I feel a difference

Imagine, a moment

That the trees and the shades are displaced

All of a sudden

The world unravels before you

The controlled destruction

Of the walls, the fence, the washing line

I don’t say anything as it’s not my place to say

But nobody else will tell you

I had determined

The forest was a border, infinite

But now I feel my place is wider because of it

And in the nearer thickets

Of paths and avenues

There was so much to bend with

To break and magnify

There is so much to see

Understand and set free

That nobody else could tell you

All those circles you see

Can just be so enveloping

But nobody else will tell you otherwise

There is no banality

Within your vicinity

But nobody else will tell you

All those circles you see

Can be so enveloping

But nobody else will tell you —

Nobody but you can tell you
